Abstract
Conditional Invertible Neural Networks (cINNs) provide a new technique for the inference of free model parameters by enabling the creation of posterior distributions. With these distributions, the mean parameter values, their uncertainties and the correlations between the parameters can be estimated. In this contribution, we summarize the functionality of cINNs, which are based on normalizing flows, and present the application of this new method to a scenario from astroparticle physics. We show that it is possible to constrain properties of the currently unknown sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and compare the posterior distributions obtained with the network to those acquired using the classic Markov Chain Monte Carlo method.
